Starforce is the worst, that's a given, but I'm now debating whether I'd be safer finding a cracked copy of the game and grabbing a legit one off a bargain bin for the sake of some fairness...
Why are they forcing me, a paying customer, to do this BS? Irony...

Pick some up if a store near you has them. they're worth the effort to find them.

Jamey,
I went ahead and installed SC. No wait, I didn't actually "go" anywhere, I just installed the game *cough*. The UI is somewhat different from TA's (aka Total Annihilation, of course), but once I figure out all the commands are and what all the icons are for it'll become second-nature. At the moment I'm about fifth-nature.
I'm still obsessed with Neverwinter Nights 2. I've taken a Drow to level 7 but all his companions are level 9 (Apparently Obsidian took its name from all the dormant rocks in their collective heads. --_--.) so I'd like to either find a way to even things out or stop playing as Drow. *cough* I've taken a Wood Elf ranger to level 15. Gameplay here is noticeably unNerfed, thankfully.
I personally think the protagonist in the storyline should gain experience and advance in levels more quickly than other characters in the game. After all, the Prot is usually the antagonists' "preferred target of choice", or otherwise attracts more attention than others in his company. I might consider the main character's personal experience somewhat more "intense" than that of his associates. Maybe it's just me. Also if Prot's are going to learn, grow, adapt and evolve and strengthen, I think Ant's should be allowed to level up accordingly.
Obsidian's understanding of character and class balance is flawed, certainly, but I think we've both seen worse in other games. Even so, why they chose to offset Drow inherent spell resistance by Nerfing away their first two level ups is beyond me. Maybe they're prejudiced against dark elves, or something. *shrug* In Baldur's Gate and NWN1, beginning a game with 50% Spell resistance is a luxury. In NWN2 it's too Nerfed, but still "game candy". (As an aside: In one of Salvatore's novels, an evil cleric actually connects with a Hold spell on Drizzt Do'Urden. A lucky break for the Ant's, maybe, but I attribute it more to Salvatore's amateurish attempts at storytelling ^_^.)
Developers should never, ever, ever Nerf any feature in a game, IMHO. If one of your game's features has a noticeable advantage, balance it out by improving or adding other features. Unless it has more to do with child safety and sporting equipment, don't Nerf. If I'm an employer, and I give one of my employees a raise, and my other workers complain about their measly salaries, I am NOT going to amputate one of the guy's toes in an effort to bring "balance" to the workplace! Exclamation point!
Anyway, thread on!

Overall it was good, I enjoyed it, but damn, casting for that movie must have consisted of the following..
"Sir, ok, remove your shirt? Mmm, ok, flex your abs.. mmm, ok, now try to unhinge your jaw in a guttural roar.. Nice.. ok, now strike a pose! Perfect! Do you have any objections to wearing leather speedos? no? Great, you're hired!"

On a Pentium 133 - obviously not a cutting-edge machine but still significantly faster than the minimum P-90 - the animation was sluggish and choppy...The animation improves on certain levels, but the bottom line is that you shouldn't need a 200MHz Pentium (or faster) to get a smooth frame rate in a game that looks this crumby.

So I finally got around to writing a little RSS feed for my site. Now what do I do with it? Submit it to sites like Feedburner and Technorati and become incredibly famous? How the hell does that work, since they seem to see "Burn my feed" which I don't really get... don't I just submit the URL to an index?

Why don't they just save a replay when you hit save, and when you load it, just turn off the graphic engine and replay it at like 100x, and when it hits the end, turn the graphics back on, and give you back control and let you play from there?

It came out of the discussion about Ryugyong Hotel.
It went into detail when he went into the major cities and saw huge roads with no cars, everyone wearing those pins and a talk he had with a N. Korean woman and she wanted to know about S. Korea.

Stage 2 re-post:
When you hit someone they bruise right?
If you hit the same spot like 5 times, it'll bruise worse, right.
follow me,.. ok
Now what if you hit them 10 times? - what's the worst that can happen from hitting someone over and over in the same spot? Maybe 10 times.
No I didn't do it but I'm curious for someone, there's a lump there - need to know if it could be trouble.
Any ideas?
Finally.
